| Zusammenfassung: | Stevens examines institutional frameworks for Crown corporations in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba between the early 1970s and the mid 1980s, showing how each framework establishes different practices and offers distinct strategic advantages. Organizational approaches in Alberta most closely approximated what the author calls a "self-contained" design, in which corporate actors had the advantage and were most able to achieve their own objectives. In Manitoba, where "vertical information systems" prevailed, central bureaucratic monitoring agents tended, to some extent, to wield influence over the corporations. Saskatchewan practice was akin to a "lateral relations" pattern, with an equilibrium between corporate and bureaucratic goals. Stevens's comparison of Crown corporation organization designs suggests that, while no one form is inherently more efficient than another, each leads to qualitatively different outcomes. He concludes that the most important issue in problems of organization design is who is winning the Crown corporation "game" -- a finding of considerable interest to all students of government enterprise. |

Stevens's comparison of Crown corporation organization designs suggests that, while no one form is inherently more efficient than another, each leads to qualitatively different outcomes. He concludes that the most important issue in problems of organization design is who is winning the Crown corporation "game" -- a finding of considerable interest to all students of government enterprise.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Government corporations</subfield><subfield code="z">Prairie Provinces.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Organization.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85095521</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Government business enterprises</subfield><subfield code="z">Prairie Provinces.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Entreprises publiques</subfield><subfield code="z">Provinces des Prairies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BUSINESS & ECONOMICS</subfield><subfield code="x">Industries</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BUSINESS & ECONOMICS</subfield><subfield code="x">Organizational Behavior.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Government business enterprises</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Organization</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Government corporations</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Prairie Provinces</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Öffentliches Unternehmen</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4075581-2</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Organisation</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Kanada</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="0">http://d-nb.info/gnd/4029456-0</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Public bodies</subfield><subfield code="a">Economics</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="653" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Canada</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="710" ind1="2" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Institute of Public Administration of Canada.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81050792</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="758" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">has work:</subfield><subfield code="a">Corporate autonomy and institutional control (Text)</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGKRhfj7Wjpfx3kfyR3MCP</subfield><subfield code="4">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Stevens, Douglas F.

Organizational approaches in Alberta most closely approximated what the author calls a "self-contained" design, in which corporate actors had the advantage and were most able to achieve their own objectives. In Manitoba, where "vertical information systems" prevailed, central bureaucratic monitoring agents tended, to some extent, to wield influence over the corporations. Saskatchewan practice was akin to a "lateral relations" pattern, with an equilibrium between corporate and bureaucratic goals. Stevens's comparison of Crown corporation organization designs suggests that, while no one form is inherently more efficient than another, each leads to qualitatively different outcomes. He concludes that the most important issue in problems of organization design is who is winning the Crown corporation "game" -- a finding of considerable interest to all students of government enterprise.
